[j-nsp] 10.3 on MX960 with MPC only?

[Prochaska Gerhard]

Hi Bas !

I was at the Juniper LAB in Amsterdam last week for a POC LAB on MPC2 (2 MIC with 4x10G) and 16x10G MPC on Junos 10.2p2.
I asked the same question and wanted to know why we do the POC LAB on 10.2 and not the already released 10.3. From what i understood there are no relevant bugfixes when it comes to MPC Cards
In R 10.3.

In the LAB we did some IPV4 and IPV6 OSPF, OSPF V3 and BGP Scalability Tests and throughput vs. Packetsize Test on the MPC2 (2 MIC with 4x10G) and 16x10G MPC. Especially the DPC to MPC Interworking is important for us for we see the new cards as high density cards which might help us in our ISP nodes where slots are nearly full.

Would be interesting what you are planning to test.

Greetings
gerhard

In fact, yes!  10.3 is primarily a JUNOS cleanup effort.  There should be close to nothing in the release notes compared to previous releases.

I believe they intend to do this with another release in the near future.  Like 10.5?

I think they are really, really wanting to have another golden release similar to 8.5.  Perhaps Richard's stalled route issue will be cleared?

Hi All,

Has anyone tried 10.3 on an MX with MPC's ?
I guess not too many have MPC cards to test with, but I'd thought I'd ask.

We will be testing both 10.2 and 10.3 over the next couple of weeks.

The 10.3 release notes mention suspiciously little MX/MPC/TRIO stuff...
Maybe there has been a lot of fixing Juniper is not open about?

Has any of you heard from their SE that 10.3 would be better for
MPC/TRIO than 10.2?

Thanks,

Bas
